Arrowverse Crossover Day Two "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 3&4" Review
The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.
This was a really great second half that did a good job of having the mains story part in the third part and then just wrapping everything up in the fourth part. All the moments on Earth X we're really well done with how they took the ideas of each of the characters and introduced some new ones and just working through a whole plan of how to escape back to Earth One. I really enjoyed their introduction of The Ray and how they played him into everything and just how well he sort of fit in with the rest of the group. Then the reintroduction of this new version of Captain Cold as Citizen Cold was interesting where he's from Earth X and doesn't know any of the other people. Then everything that went on with Kara and everyone stuck in Star Labs that didn't get stuck on Earth X was interesting with how they eventually managed to free Kara from the red light altering her powers and how they finally brought the rest of Legends into the fight. And it was fun that they did again have a little nod to Ray's Superman past. It was really interesting who out of villains in the character's past they decided to bring into this with them reintroducing Metallo, and Red Tornado, as well as a few other villains, was interesting to see how they fit them all in and how they actually had other heroes fighting against these villains instead of Supergirl. Then just the whole final fight scene between the heroes and the Earth X versions was interesting to see how it all played out. It was a little disappointed that it definitely looks like they ran out of money because the visual effects didn't look as good as they did in the previous parts. But still, all the fighting and how they decide to end the story for each of the Earth X members was very interesting to see. The ending of the fourth part I really don't care for and it felt really kind of unnecessary and could have been so much better if they just cut it out or shortened it. Because I did like that moment of Barry and Iris finally going through the whole ceremony of getting married even though it wasn't necessary but then having Felicity barge in there and make it about her by saying that she wants to marry Oliver as well was just really annoying and unnecessary with how it looks like in the next Arrow episode they're just going to get married again. So that ending just felt really weird and unnecessary and I felt like I could have ended a lot better if they would have just ignored that part all the other. And just overall this was a really exciting and fun second half to the crossover and I can't wait to see what they might do next year.

Arrowverse Crossover Day One "Crisis on Earth-X, Parts 1&2" Review
The gang comes together for Barry and Iris's wedding, but the ceremony is crashed by villains from Earth-X.
This was a really great first half that did a nice job of setting things up for whats to come and really bringing everyone together. I really loved how they did the beginning of this episode where they did an introduction of each of the main heroes revolving around them forgetting to turn in there save the date cards for Barry and Iris's wedding. It was especially fun with Supergirl fighting a dominator and making the comment that they were so last year. Then the party before the wedding and the actual wedding was really great with how everything was done and the little nods to characters to come. It was really interesting how they decided to have the heroes meet there evil Earth-X versions of themselves, I didn't much care for the storyline of having Kara and Oliver being married but I did really like the moment of them showcasing the kryptonite arrow. I wish a few more of the Legends would have been around because it felt like a really odd group of Legends members hanging out helping and the rest of them were just missing. Especially Ray I feel could have fit in with everyone else because he is friends with most of the main heroes. Then the reason of why the Earth-Xers were on Earth-1 was kind of weird because they were there for Kara but how did they know she was on Earth-1 and why didn't they go to Earth-23 to look for her. And they didn't really give a reason as to why Overgirl had taken into much solar radiation they just said that she had taken into much and it was killing her. So did Overgirl absorbed the whole sun or something and that explains why Earth-X is so dark or what is going on it was never really explained. But still this was a really great first half to set everything up and I excited to see what they are going to do now the part of the team is trapped on Earth-X.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 3 "Next of Kin" Review
A rogue black ops team led by Onyx breaks into Kord Industries and steals something lethal. Oliver struggles to connect with William so he reaches out to a surprising source for help.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that was fun at showing how team Arrow operates without Oliver. And I really liked what they did do with John adjusting to his life now as the Green Arrow and him figuring out what that means, and I really liked it because the fact that they dedicated this whole episode to him really figuring out what he needs to do with the Green Arrow instead of just having him jump into the role. And it was really fun to see him trying to get the team to get used to him as the new leader and them not being really sure that he deserves it and so it was a lot of him proving himself and with that I really love this whole fight scene where he's fighting around and inside of this limo and the way that the whole scene was shot was just really well done. And then the moments with Oliver and William in this episode interesting with Oliver trying to figure out how to talk to William and be there for him but he just keeps failing. So it was kind of cool how they finally did establish the triangle between Oliver, William, and Felicity with Felicity being there too help William in the way Oliver can't. The whole ending scene for this episode was really interesting and I'm very curious to see what might come out of that with John using drugs to help stabilize his hand and get him focused. I'm very curious to see how that might affect the team when they discover what he's up to and if it's going to make any sort of connection back to the main story in an episode where like they're tracking down the drug dealer that he uses or something like that reveals to the whole team what he's up to. And just overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch and see this new hero strategy that they're going with.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 2 "Tribute" Review
Anatoly returns to Star City with a sinister agenda as Oliver tries to balance being the mayor, the Green Arrow and William's father.
This was a really interesting and entertaining episode that did a really nice job of having a bunch of really solid storylines going on all at once. I really liked all the moments with Oliver struggling to try and keep his other identity a secret from the public now that everyone's on high alert trying to prove whether he is the Green Arrow or not. And it was really interesting that they brought this FBI agent in to look into the case of Oliver Queen and that seems like a really interesting side storyline to keep going back to so I'm excited about that. And I really liked all the moments with Felicity and Curtis looking into the photo that seemed to prove Oliver as being the Green Arrow and them trying to find some way of how this picture got taken or what's all going on with it. Then the moments with Oliver trying to step up and become a father was really interesting with him trying to find a way to be what William need him to be and with how this episode ended I find it really interesting the choice he decided to make but I don't think it's going to last that long because Oliver will always be the Green Arrow. Then moments between Dinah and Diggle we're really interesting with the truth coming out more about what is wrong with Diggle and why he isn't firing his gun and the fact that they chose to keep it a secret up until the very end where they tried to tell the truth but just didn't get the chance to was really interesting and I'm curious to see what's going to happen when the truth does come out. Then all the moments with Anatoly we're really interesting with him using his and Oliver's old friendship as a weapon against Oliver as well as the fact of Oliver being under the public eye to his advantage to get Oliver to do whatever he wanted. But then the reveal at the end that Anatoly wasn't the one who put out the photo of Oliver makes me very interested to see who actually did. Then just overall this was a really interesting and great episode that I'm very curious to see where they're going to take the storyline.

Arrow Season 6 Episode 1 "Fallout" Review
Oliver deals with the fallout of the explosion on the island.
This was a really great and entertaining episode that I'm a little disappointed in how they chose to handle everything around the explosion on the island. Because they made such a big deal about it saying it is a big mystery about who would live and who would die just to then go and have literally everyone survive except of Ben’s mother which yes, of course, she would die because she was really only there to end up dead. But then the thing with Thea was really annoying because I’m pretty sure I stated in my review of the season finale that to kill off Thea would be incredibly stupid after the whole scene where Malcolm sacrificed himself to save Thea and yes she didn't die but essentially compared to everyone else she got hurt the worst. And then Slade going and leaving everybody else behind on the island to protect himself seemed like a complete change in character from how he has grown. And they made such a big deal about needing to get the team to this one dock to be safe and instead most of them just went and hid inside the plane they were right next to. But besides all that disappointing buildup that really lead nowhere, in my opinion, the rest of the episode was really great. With the moments of Black Siren and the team trying to figure out what her plans are and trying to stop them. I didn't much care for the whole thing around Lance feeling bad for shooting Black Siren and him making all these points continuously saying that it is Laurel which I just can't agree with because yes it is a Laurel but this Laurel grew up with a kind of different life so she isn't there Laurel. But I can understand a bit the feeling of guilt he has for shooting her because she does at least look like there Laurel so I can understand a bit of that tug of the heart he feels for shooting her. Then I'm very interested in knowing what is going on with Diggle because in this episode his aim was off and it really kind of seemed like he didn't know if he wanted to be Spartan anymore so I really want to know more about that. And then just overall this was a really great and exciting first episode and I'm very curious to see where they will go from here.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 15 "A Wondrous Place" Review
Hook finds himself trapped in another realm and races to get back to Emma; Regina and Snow try to take Emma's mind off from Hook's disappearance; Jasmine befriends Ariel.
This was a really great episode that was so entertaining and fun to watch. This episode was the Aladdin and Jasmine episode that I have been waiting for since the beginning of the season and it took a little over half the season to actually get to this episode. I really liked that they brought Ariel back in this episode and it was really interesting how they used her. I really liked all the moments in the past in Agrabah and Jasmine is trying to find a way to get out of marrying Jafar by trying to find another hero to replace the disappeared Aladdin. And I loved how they brought Hook into the Aladdin Jasmine story with him helping them find Jafar and Agrabah. The Moments back in Storybrooke were okay but really kind of felt thrown in there to give the main characters some screen time. I would have much more preferred to just see the scenes where Emma is packing up all of Hooks things and the scene where Emma finds the shellphone and hears hooks message and that is it. But I do have to say overall this was a really entertaining and fun episode to watch.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 14 "Page 23" Review
Believing there isn't room in Storybrooke for both her and Regina, the Evil Queen sets out to eliminate her other half. Hook, determined to make things work with Emma, turns to his old friend Captain Nemo for advice, but Gideon torpedoes the plan before he's able to set things right.
This was such a boring and pointless episode that was really unneeded. Because they brought back the Evil Queen at the end of the last episode just to completely get rid of her in this episode. With that, I'm very happy that they got rid of Robin as well because that was another pointless story line. And how they chose to get rid of the Queen is just why? Because I would have been fine if they just killed her or had her be absorbed back into Regina those would have been fine ideas but going and sending her away to have her own happy ending is just why? I did like how they chose to show Emma finding out about Hooks secret because it was kind of simple and not just someone else figuring it out. And I really liked that they brought Nemo back into the mix to help Hook out. The ending for Hook was kind of surprising and I wonder how that might affect the future because in Emma's vision Hook was there so if he is not maybe that will help change the future. And just overall this was not the greatest of episodes and kind of a pointless one.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 13 "Ill-Boding Patterns" Review
When Gideon resumes his mission to kill Emma, Mr. Gold steps in to ensure the use of dark magic doesn't poison his son; Hook learns Emma has a secret; Beowulf targets Rumplestiltskin.
This was a really interesting episode that was entertaining to watch but not really all that exciting. I really liked how most of this episode focused on Rumple and getting to know a bit more of his back story and him helping out Gideon. I loved the introduction of Beowulf in this episode because his story was one of the few books in school I actually enjoyed reading and I was very interested to see what they would do with his story. I found it a little weird how no one in the village seemed to know that Rumple was the dark one until Beowulf brought it up. And I really liked what they did with Baelfire and him using the dagger to help his father make decisions. The parts about Gideon repairing the sword was interesting with all the things he had to do to fix it. But the idea of Rumple darkening his heart to make sure Gideon never has to darken his heart seems a little too weird and confusing for me to accept it as a reasonable solution. Then the moments with Hook in this episode were great with him struggling on whether or not he should tell Emma the truth about David's father. And with how this episode ended I wonder what will happen to him in the future when the truth does come out. And just overall this was a really interesting episode but it was also a little boring of one.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 12 "Murder Most Foul" Review
Hook agrees to help David uncover the truth about his father, hoping to gain his respect; Regina discovers Robin has a dark side that may complicate his acclimation to life in Storybrooke.
This was a really interesting episode that wasn't all the exciting it was just a lot of side story that I didn't really care to see in the first place. All the moments between Robin and Regina went down basically the way I was expecting it to with her holding his hand through everything. The moment with Zelena popping up to tell Regina to keep Robin away from baby Robin was a little unnecessary and seemed to go from 0 to 100 in anger really quickly. I did really like the ending where Regina comes to the conclusion that maybe Robin didn't come through the portal for her but something else and that is a really interesting part of Robin's story that I kind of would be okay with seeing. Then all the moments with David were so weird with how David seemed like a completely different and selfish person that was dead set on this quest to find who killed his father. It was interesting to watch Hook follow David around and David treating him just like another old pirate. I did really like the flashbacks of David's father and him going on this quest to find James and bring him back home. Especially the scene where they go to pleasure island and run into Pinocchio and all the other problems around that. Then the twist ending of who actually killed David's father was really interesting and I can't wait to see how that will play out. And just overall this was a really interesting episode but I really hope that will get back to the main story sometime soon.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 11 "Tougher Than the Rest" Review
With Snow still asleep in Storybrooke, David and Hook try to stop Gideon before he confronts Emma; Regina realizes that everyone is better off in the alternate world where the Evil Queen was defeated; Emma discovers the power to change her fate.
This was a really interesting episode that wasn't all that exciting but it was good for reintroducing everything since it has been quite a while since the last episode. I really enjoyed all the moments with Emma and Regina trying to escape the alternate world and all the different help they got in doing so. I really liked that they brought Pinocchio back because he is one of my favorite side characters and I liked that he had his own little story about gaining confidence and believing in yourself. Then I kind of like the thing that Emma realized in this episode which was if you believe hard enough anything can come true. Then bringing Robin Hood back I kind of have mixed feeling because I really like Robin Hood as a character but I also would kind of rather he stay dead because then there are fewer characters to jump between. And now we have to deal with him trying to fit into the life of the other Robin Hood, and that will just be a mess. The moments with David and Hook were interesting with their quest to save Emma. And Belle and Rumple trying to connect with their son was interesting with them seeming to have different plans in mind. But I do have to say overall this was a really interesting and okay episode to watch.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 10 "Wish You Were Here" Review
The Evil Queen uses Aladdin's lamp to make Emma's wish of never being
the Savior come true, sending Emma to an alternate reality of the
Enchanted Forest; Regina and David both make bold moves in order to try
to find Emma; Gold and Belle receive surprising news about their son.
This was a very interesting episode that had some really great moments to it and some things were a little wired. When it was brought up that this episode was going to have Emma no longer being the savior I didn't know what to expect them to do. And what they did do was okay because I liked the idea that the enchanted forest was doing okay with Emma not being a savior but the fact that they made Emma such a weakling that just seemed so odd and not right, because you can still be a bad-ass princess and not be the savior. I liked the moments with Regina where she had to deal with everyone hating her again and she had to dress-up and play the role of the Evil Queen. Then it was kind of cool to see Henry as a knight and a little bit of a savior. The ending for Emma and Regina was really kind of weak because they missed their portal home just because Regina got distracted, Emma could have just shoved her in the portal or something instead of them both standing there yelling at each other. All the moments with the Evil Queen in this episode were okay to some degree or another. I did like the moment with the genie lamp and Regina reminds the Evil Queen that they are the same person so they both can use the genie's wishes. The moment with David fighting the Evil Queen really made very little to no sense at all. Gold and Belle in this episode seemed like a pretty cool storyline that I'm interested in seeing when the show comes back. And I did really like that they ended this first half of the season with relieving who it is under the hood that is destined to kill Emma. And just overall this was a really fun and entertaining episode.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 9 "Changelings" Review
Mr. Gold has gone too far, he is turning back into the beast that everyone feared, He has made Belle go into labor.
This was a very interesting episode that had some good moments but I really don't know how I feel about the episode as a whole. I liked the struggle of who is worse between Gold and the Evil Queen where there once growing relationship is now completely broken and falling apart. The fight between Zelena and the Evil Queen I was really hoping that there would be more to it because that is a fight I would rather enjoying watching, but Zelena just went and got the crap beaten out of her without even trying to fight back. It was nice to have Regina back in the picture with Zelena after they have been ignoring each other even if it wasn't fully intentional to do so. All the moments with Belle were really great both in the current times and flashback moments. I liked the story of how Rumple's mother is a fairy and a dark one at that it is a really interesting story idea that I hope they expand on a bit more in the future. And it was also an interesting connection they decided to make to give a reason as to why Rumple hates fairies. Then all the dream moments between Belle and her son were really well done but I wish Gideon could have explained a bit more beyond saying things like "you know what to do," or "the answer is right in front of you," those seemed like such weak lines to me. The ending was kind of cool and I liked that Belle didn't tell Gold the name of their son, that I found a very clever moment to connect to the character of Rumple and the power he can do with just simply having a name. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it was done really well for it not being about the more main characters of the story.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 10 "Chapter 10" Review
Lee Harris, the lone survivor of Return to Roanoke: Three Days in Hell, agrees to an interview live on television, the Lana Winters Special.
This was a very interesting way to end this season that had plenty of surprises and fun to it. I knew going into this episode that some way some how Lee was not going to make it to the end, and I was right about that. I did really like that they brought Lana Winters back and they did a good job at bringing back some of the things from Asylum and kind of explaining in little bits what Lana has been up to since Asylum. Then the actual interview between Lee and Lana was really cool with how they interacted with each other and it was made even better by how they were interrupted. This episode was a little weird with how much it jumped around from story to story but it also made some sense because they needed to do that in order to wrap everything up nicely. The beginning moments with the court cases was a little weird and felt like it went on for a bit too long. I did feel bad for Flora because everyone seemed to push off her thoughts as just being a scared kid who went through some tough times. The ghost hunters going into the Roanoke house to investigate the hauntings was really fun and I laughed at the line that was like "people have been asking to investigate this house for years and been denied, so we didn't ask." And when Lee popped up I thought she had gone all butcher crazy again and kill them all, but that didn't happen. I do wish they would have shown a bit more of some of the ghosts in those final moments, but still what they did show was really fun. Then the standoff with the police at the house was interesting especially when you just focus on Flora's part in all of it. It is still a little weird to me with how dedicated Flora seems to be with Priscilla. And the final choice that Lee made for Flora was very interesting and kind of unexpected, but at least in that way, no one else will own the house. Then the actual ending was a little confusing because I saw the villagers and the butcher coming up to the house so did they kill all the police and cameramen standing outside the house watching it burn or were the ghost just watching the house too. Overall this was a really great season I would probably place it in the number three spot of the seasons so far, and I can't wait to see what they'll do for the next season.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 8 "I'll Be Your Mirror" Review
Emma and Regina work together and form a plan to trap the Evil Queen, while Snow White and David get used to life without each other. Henry anxiously prepares to take Violet to the school dance, but the Evil Queen has other plans. Meanwhile, Zelena and Belle form an alliance and recruit Aladdin to steal a magical object from Mr. Gold that could protect Belle and her unborn child from him forever.
This was a really interesting and great episode that was really entertaining to watch. I loved seeing the land of mirrors and that fact that they were willing to harken back at least in one moment to when Sidney used to live in this world. Then it was made even better by the fact that they brought the Dragon back into the mix which was really cool to see but I wish they would have done a bit more with him. The Evil Queen's whole plan to get Henry to understand her more seemed a little far fetch that she thought she could make Henry hurt anybody no matter who's life is at stake. I do want to know a bit more about the hammer she gave to Henry because I'm not all that familiar with it and I didn't quite catch the name of it. Then how does the Evil Queen expect Henry to accept her when in the event he doesn't do what she asks she calls him weak, that is not how you gain trust lady. The parts with Snow and David were nice to see but not all that exciting because it basically went down the way I was expecting it to go. Then all the scenes with Belle were really great in seeing her work through this elaborate plan to try and get away from Gold. I like the scene with Aladdin where we finally get to see him be his self and break into Gold's shop to retrieve some items. I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the genie even though it is supposedly a different genie from the original one. Then I also liked seeing a bit more self-absorbed Jasmine in this episode where at first all she cared about was her own mission to find Agrabah. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it ended with so many doors left open I can't wait to see what will happen when it comes back in a few weeks.

The Evil Queen's whole plan to get Henry to understand her more seemed a little far fetch that she thought she could make Henry hurt anybody no matter who's life is at stake. I do want to know a bit more about the hammer she gave to Henry because I'm not all that familiar with it and I didn't quite catch the name of it. Then how does the Evil Queen expect Henry to accept her when in the event he doesn't do what she asks she calls him weak, that is not how you gain trust lady. The parts with Snow and David were nice to see but not all that exciting because it basically went down the way I was expecting it to go. Then all the scenes with Belle were really great in seeing her work through this elaborate plan to try and get away from Gold. I like the scene with Aladdin where we finally get to see him be his self and break into Gold's shop to retrieve some items. I really can't wait to see what they'll do with the genie even though it is supposedly a different genie from the original one. Then I also liked seeing a bit more self-absorbed Jasmine in this episode where at first all she cared about was her own mission to find Agrabah. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and it ended with so many doors left open I can't wait to see what will happen when it comes back in a few weeks.

American Horror Story Season 6 Episode 9 "Chapter 9" Review
A new actor shows up to the house per Sidney's request; three young
adults enter the woods to shoot footage of the blood moon and the
history of the house for the web. Meanwhile, Lee, Monet, and Audrey
remain on the run.
This was a really great and interesting episode that really kind of summed a lot more of what is gong on and now all that is really left is to end everything. I really liked the inclusion of the Roanoke nightmare fans who get caught up in the blood moon themselves. Just seeing some fresh faces in this episode that didn't start out completely terrified was a little refreshing. The guy they brought in to help out Audrey and Lee was really great to give them a little bit of hope and then just have it taken from them in a second. He was a little annoying with how he seemed to know everything because he was ex-military, and he kept refusing to listen to Lee and Audrey when they clearly know more because they have been living through all the madness. Then them actually being back at the Polk's farm was interesting because the two Polk's that were left managed to do a lot of damage on their own. And where they found all the video tapes and stuff was a little weird because everything seemed to be in opposite rooms from where it should be. Then the randomness of having the witch show up and save Lee at the last minute I didn't really care for but it does make me really curious to see what they will do with her because to some degree she is under the witches control. Then ending moments of this episode were really gory and I was not really expecting everything to go as bad as it did. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait to see what they'll do with the final episode.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 7 "Heartless" Review
Bandit Snow dodges a bounty hunter while shepherd David goes on a
fateful journey; the Evil Queen threatens to destroy Storybrooke unless
Snow and David surrender their hearts; David and Regina search for a
magical sapling.
This was a very interesting episode that was alright but there were some parts that I didn't really care for. All of the back stories between Snow and David was very interesting, and at first, I was a little annoyed because I thought they were going to do a first-time introduction between the two of them again for the like fourth time. But lucky they didn't instead they managed to construct it in a way so that the two characters talk to each other but never formally introduce themselves to one another, with I found to be a kind of cool idea. They did make one mistake in that scene, however, is that they forgot about David's Shepard hair that was a bit longer than his regular hair unless they want us to believe that in the time between this encounter and when he first becomes a prince is when he grows out his hair. Then I really enjoyed the little moment of Hook's story time with Emma, I thought it was a really cute moment. The idea of the sapling was very interesting to me because I thought it was a very clever idea but along the lines of the evil queen if it were me I would have just burnt the sapling instead of what she did which was break it and then burn it, I thought that was a bit of overkill. Zelena was a little confusing in this episode because the first scene you see of her it seems like she knows that the Evil Queen and Rumple are together, but then later she is surprised to she them making out , I just don't understand what was suppose to be going on there. Then the new curse that the Evil Queen put on Snow and David I really kind of like it because it is not deadly or anything like that it is just really inconvenient for the two of them. Overall I enjoyed watching this episode I just did care for certain parts here and there.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 8 "Chapter 8" Review
Audrey, Monet, and Lee remain, hostages of the Polks, while Shelby
and Dominic try to think of a way to escape the wrath of The Butcher
back at the house.
This was a really interesting episode that was really about starting to wrap up this whole season and get down to the last person who survives all of the craziness. All the scenes with Shelby and Dominic were really great with all the craziness they endured at the house and those moments really brought all the past dead together. I have no idea how the two of them managed to survive as long as they did it was actually kind of amazing to watch the two of them deal it attack after attack and not die. Lee was really great in this episode with how she managed to survive everything that was thrown at her. The way she seemed so up for anything just to end up turning on the Polks was really great. Then I loved the scene with the Polks and how the managed to tie the teeth back into everything.I really can't wait to see what will happen to Monet now that she is alone with the last two Polks chasing after her. Then the fact of Lee convincing Audrey to go back to the Polks farm was really great by bringing up they need to delete the film of them killing the Polks when really she just wants to delete the film of her confession of killing Flora's father. Then Lee's change in opinion about Shelby was a little weird because she hated Shelby it seemed up until she heard that Shelby killed Matt and then she just couldn't believe it, and she instead blamed it on Dominic. I really hope in the next few episodes they'll show a bit more of the witch because she still is a mystery to me. Overall I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 6 "Dark Waters" Review
The Evil Queen creates distrust between Henry and Hook; Hook is kidnapped by Captain Nemo and held inside his famous submarine, the Nautilus.
This was a very interesting episode that was a little confusing at parts, but it did a really great job at having a pretty solid story. The whole plot of having this anger between Henry and Hook seemed to come out of nowhere in my mind even with the help of the Evil Queen talking to Henry before all the conflict started. It just seemed really odd to me that they had all this anger and conflict between each other and the idea of Hook coming and joining the family and it was only really brought up right now in this episode, that just doesn't work out right in my mind. I really loved them bringing Captain Nemo into the story but I really wish they could have explored his story a bit more then what this episode did because it is such a great story. But instead they connected back some of the loose strings of Hook's story which was still a good idea and I enjoy how they went about bringing Leam 2 back into the story, but I still really wanted more of Nemo.Then don't get why Henry and Hook thought that the idea of keeping the shears was bad because I completely understand why you would want to keep it because when the time comes and there are no other options you can cut her from her fate. The scene where Snow and Charming went in and broke Jiminy out of Zelena's house was really great but what are they going to do now that Jiminy is a cricket again. Then all the things with Belle, Gold, and the Evil Queen were really interesting and some parts I was not expecting and I can't wait to see what might happen between all of them in the future. Overall this was a really great episode and I can't wait for more.

American Horror Story Roanoke Episode 7 "Chapter 7" Review
In the second installment of Return to Roanoke as the blood moon rises the members inside the house start to feel the growing presence of danger.
This was a really great episode the took out a lot of things in just one episode which was really shocking to me. I was really wrong about Shelby lasting because he barely made it 5 minutes in this episode , but that was still really cool to see that the members of the house are now truly on their own and have no one looking out for them or coming to help. I did really like all the moments with the group of girls being out in the woods and just having them stumble upon terrible thing after terrible thing. Everything with them was done really well in my opinion and it did have some really annoying shaky camera moments here and there but for me there acting jobs kind of made up for that. It was also really cool that in this episode they finally started to introduce us to the real ghosts that Shelby, Matt, and Lee had to deal with and I loved seeing just how terrifying these ghosts were and it was just really nice to see. I did also like the butcher actress in this episode because she was just crazy and really did the most amount of damage in this episode and in some really brutal ways. Then I was really surprised by Shelby in this episode and I can't wait for the next episode to see what might happen to her. I really want to see more of the witch and see what the witch is really like. Overall I have to say I really enjoyed this episode and I can't wait for more.

Once Upon a Time Season 6 Episode 5 "Street Rats" Review
In a flashback, Aladdin helps Princess Jasmine recover a secret weapon that could release Jafar's hold on the Sultan and save the city; in Storybrooke, the evil queen tricks Hook and tries to divide the family.
This was a really great episode that finally did what they promised at the end of last season they finally did an episode where they managed to focus somewhat solely on Aladdin and his whole story. I kind of liked the idea of Emma's whole quest to try and find Aladdin and if she can manage to find Aladdin alive then that could easily mean that she could find a way to change her story and stay alive as well. Which of course that didn't quite go as planned but how it all eventually turned out it was kind of okay because maybe Emma's whole quest can change to where it becomes her trying to not become like Aladdin did. I didn't really care for the idea that Jasmine went about trying to trick Aladdin into becoming the savior because with that story plot I can easily see why in the future Aladdin would go and free himself from being the savior because it is not something he actually wanted it something kind of forced upon him, which the parallels to Emma are not going unnoticed. Which with that I really liked the scene between Jasmine and Henry where they share the fact that they kind of have done the similar thing to create their savior. The one part that kind of confused me was the part where they used a magical potion to track down Aladdin by linking one savior to another, but I don't really like that still managed to work even though by that time Aladdin had already cut his bond with being a savior so if anything I don't think it should have worked at all. Then I'm kind of annoyed with the fact that the oracle is dead because her whole role in the broader story will probably go unexplained and it also annoyed me that everybody kind of forgot to question Jasmine about who actually killed the oracle once they found out that she was princess Jasmine because maybe she didn't kill the oracle herself but she probably saw who did it. Then all the parts with Zelena and the Evil Queen were kind of pointless to me because I don't think the relationship between the two of them is going to last for very long. Overall this was a really great episode for finally showing what I have been waiting for and it managed to cover a lot of things in this one episode.
